- Chart Attack: ARIA Introduces Australia’s First Official Music Charts. The claims about the demise of the music sales charts have been grossly overblown.

We had survived the necessary recession; the ABC introduced two bananas dressed in pyjamas, Queensland rejected daylight saving time, the Prime Minister acquired the nickname “the Lizard of Oz” after caressing the monarch’s back, and, most importantly, Australian music underwent a permanent transformation.
- The Countdown Revolution Begins on ABC TV. It’s hard to communicate the significance of Countdown to someone who wasn’t of a specific age at the time.
